we must continue to support our nonprofits they provide vitality in front line services to our resident. and just like many of the clients on low income it's tough to absorb an there in rent so i applaud supervisor kim and supervisor chiu and look forward to working with them for practical solutions. you know, in 2013 president chiu authorized groundbreaking legislation that i was proud to sign to guarantee san francisco as a friendly workplace. we can be at the national forefront by ray's the minimum wage (clapping) folks, you know, how many of us

can get by open this town on $10.46 an hour. there's a ingress consensus among liberals that raising the minimum what this it will keep people off public assistance so this november with supervisor kim leadership and anothers let's make it easier for our resident for playing on the ballot for san franciscans. let's approach this the way we approached housing and transportation we'll reach out to impact the sectors and workers and expert and other and seek consensus for the minimum wage there for working families

(clapping) we've begun the dialog let's get this done in 2014. we must continue to guarantee for all our people that's affordable health care. we support this. in 2013 thanks to the leadership you have nancy pelosi and president obama it came through the country of the affordable health care. icon convenience had he been e health and business to study the laws it's laws are old to insure no one falls through the cracks not our senior citizens or workers or immigrants.

it's all our jobs to make sure every person is evenly revolted to cover a healthy san francisco (clapping) and if we want our families to stay and groeb grow here employers to stay here we must strife for the by the evidence public schools. i know that supervisor yee and the rest of the board share the values. we're no longer incomplete with other cities for the jobs and today, the students will have to complementing pet with the rest of the children. i choose to send my daughters to the san francisco unified school district and today, i'm thrilled

that everyday more and more families are going the same. we're in the midst of a renaissance in our public scalds we have the top performing schools. by partnering with the schools we'll prepare our young people. for example, looking at the credible contribution of our leadership initiative by mark and linda and the sales force.com foundation. along with the support off our technology companies a lot of great teachers we've helping little schoolers focus on engineering and arts and math and technology we're steamed we know that the jobs of tomorrow will require this.

today, i'm pleased to announce this year we'll help the kindergarten so schools like betsy and paul revere and others schools will be part of the initiative. last year, we passed the budget with a record investment in our public schools. this year we're going to surface that. in 2014 i proposed to fund the school district at a level never seen before in san francisco history (clapping) $66 million for our public schools and $27 million more for universal preschool. yes (clapping) and now along with our own historic investment and with governor jerry brown commitment

last week san francisco will be among the highest per student spending in the state and thank you governor anticipate sprint and members of the board of education and special thanks to hi men mendosa wholesale my advisory and she's got passion and thought of leadership on all the addition issues thank you for working for me. when it comes to education and services for young people we're not done this november we'll having ask the voters to renew the fund and a public education fund but we can't be satisfied that the status quo so all the parents and aspiring parents we hear you we're working with the

school board and to you to craft a longer version so we'll have a long-term system starting with the preschool and continuing through college (clapping) college. college that means making city college continue with long overdue reformed and remain 0 open and awe credit card today. i'm one hundred percent confident we'll continue to have city college enroll because it's too important it will be there. folks i'm upset at the accreditation process but

putting all our focus on them is a distraction. city college was on a course of unsubstantial financial and governs decisions and just because we don't like the diagnoses we ignore the unthinkable your urgent need for treatment but because we have a strong leadership in place city college is on the path to full reform. under the leadership of the new chandler nick and with the full support of california chancellor we're making overdue reformed for the long-term health. city college has earned the right to be taken off the cliff of europe certainty and given the improvements i'll ask the

state of california to continue in spite of the recent dips (clapping) i call about the accreditation commission to release the cliff that hangs over city college for the future. you know, a true affordability agenda must also include having a great transportation system one that save and a r50ib8 for everybody. our der59 roads and ingress population demand we make greater dpand in our infrastructure for the future. we made n some modest improvements and we paved a record 4 blocks in our street

conditions and our streets are slowing improving. you like those roads (clapping) and under the leadership of edward reiskin and tom nolan we added buses with the goal of replacing the entire fleet in 5 years. and along with other friends we've launched bay area bike share demonstrating the strong support to expand the other city's transportation. when it comes to having the transportation that the resident deserve we have a ways to go. and so in 2013 we with the leadership of president chiu and that supervisor weiner we convened e vend all the

transportation experts and advocates chaired by gay and our deputy city controller (clapping) their recommendations include investing in the muni and our streets with their rehabbed fleet and upgraded bike lanes. my friends it's not a small price tag $10. billion plus. in the waterfront and the other part of town we've been given a road map and fund our san francisco environment commission system in a responsible and 0 sustainable way we have to tackle our long-term transportation changes so in november working with the board

of supervisors i'll support the transportation 2014 recommendation. bring to the voter a 5 hundred million general going transportation bond and a measure to increase the local vehicle fee. now i recognize that asking voters to pay more for their vehicle fee maybe an uphill battle since the cotton is so high but the cost of ignoring munis problems and falling further behind and a jamming more people into an overcrowded streetcar situation. while we're at it if we're going to take into consideration comprehensive approaches to funding muni let's tear off the band aid that made our resident lived a little bit more

frustratingly i'm talking about the meters. folks it generated several million dollars last year almost half of it from parking ticketed no one likes it not me so with the more is substantial approach to funding our transportation system we can give our meters and parking control offers a rest on sunday (clapping) and so today, i call upon our mta board of supervisors to suspend meters this sunday beginning this fiscal year. i'm grateful it tom nolan has given his support let's stop nickel and diming people at the

meter. (clapping.) and there's one more thing we can do for our working family who rely on muni. last year the mta at the you're going the supervisor campos and many in the community we the results are in and our kids need it, it's time to make it permanent so i call upon mta to make it possible. and again with the comprehensive funding strategy we won't be robbing our maintenance dollars to pay for it. it's to make the city a little bit more ooshlg. 2350shg9 is also about having a city government that the taxpayers can afford.

the past 3 years under the assessor carmen chu and now supervisor farrell we have a 5 year adapted plan and made dramatic progress in eliminating our structural deficits. thanks to the wisdom of our voters to confront unfunded pension and retiree health liability. better times will return but we must not be attempted to stray from the path of discipline as we craft our new budget we must invest in services and staffing we can afford over the long-term. and one of the responsibilities is insuring public safety. in 2014 san francisco is one of

the safety 0 cities and thanks cohesive still the assistant district attorney thank you for your teamwork (clapping) two years ago alongside supervisor cowen our police department and the partners in the community we launched the ipo strategic interrupt, precinct and ores and we've seen remarkable results. holdings are down 30 percent among lowest in 35 years. (clapping.) but we can do better. we can do better with new police and a fire academy we'll higher and train for first responder from 9-1-1 operator to firefighters and a police

officers you'll see them on hate street to the tenderloin and a central market and thank you to our men and women for agreeing to a multiple year contract that allows us to move forward with those ambitious hiring plans. let me say a few words about our industry streets that's itself safety of our pedestrians and bicyclists. you know, this week i announced a are you in custody estrange of better training for commercial drivers and those who drive the most be nice and a look twice and improvements like south van ness we need physical improvements. it's another reason the

transportation measures s are so important so we can spend our bike lanes and build outs. i support the goals of vision zero to eliminate traffic deaths in our city (clapping) but to get there we'll need nor common sense as well. for everyone be more aware of our surround and drivers slow down and a don't every text and drive at the same time. san francisco is one of the most pedestrian and bicyclist friendly in america let's make it the safety area in america for those activities as well (clapping) and there's another daily threat earthquake. we don't know when it will

strike and it's up to us to make sure we've done all we, to prepare so in june i'll ask you to support a $400 million general obligation bond. part of our capital bond will fund critical seismic improvements to our fire and police department and i our emergency water system and other core assets our first responders will rely on all without raising property taxes. it follows the seismic improvements at the house/senate the water system our general hospital and key roads and brimgdz to make san francisco a servicely preponderance of the evidence city in california

(clapping) and folks, you know, on the january day like this you look around and kind of see the bone-dry winter it reminds us the climate change is real we're in a drought in california. it's more important than ever to continue our global leadership we'll insure that that but making sure our green building laws we've significantly reduced our green house gas emissions. i'm proud san francisco san francisco was ranked among the top efficient city's. and our waste diversion system leads the nation we're the leaders in the electronic

charging station and we're helping homeowners and businesses more energy efficient through the go solar sf and pass programs and through rec and park department thank you general managers for your effort for the future drought. thank you for your leadership (clapping) ladies and gentlemen, there's not public safety and human champ in our streets. and that's too. people without a home. while we have the strongest safety net in the in addition, we have many too many people unthinkable to make choices to save their own lives because of

mental onions. under the leadership of naumd leveling hundred thousand people move forward off our streets thanks to the affordable housing we built where we continue to provide services. we've changed be 11 thousand lives for the better including lives like todd who's here with his daughter. last year, he lost his job and become homeless but now he's received taller assistance through the first air force program. todd is housed thanks to program that prevents at risk families from being homeless under the leadership of trent roar

(clapping) but we need to do more and the proof is what we see on the streets everyday. too. people dealing with serious issues like schizophrenia and self medicaid with alcohol. we won't turn our backs on them but we have to help those who are clearly suffering. for those folks no matter how many times we offer stifrz they decline. it's not a lack of services we spend $2 million plus. our department of health started a receptor program i call it san francisco's of laurdz law and the result are in its working. through this program we're

reducing hospital stays and a jail time and helping with the treatment and saving lives. health experts estimate there are hundreds of people who could benefit from a stronger skoefrtship program in sews bylaw abuse so in 2014 we must expand and make permanent it conserve activeship program. i'll ask us to adapt a community-based program and second i'll work with the supreme courts to care and caution educating educating educate our judges about the positive program and third and most importantly i'll unthinkable with other mayors on a statewide coalition to boast

our ability to implement a conserve active program that works. folks this will not come without introvert but i refuse to let people die on our streets any longer because we refuse to compel them to help themselves (clapping) and i'm grateful aim gravity that public health director and a ingress number of stewart's and homeless advocates have adapted this approach thank you. this is the city of sftv and we have to help those who are homeless because they don't have the capacity to make decisions that save
